    Pitching sucks… nothing you can do. Astros won’t make the playoffs. Is what it is.

    They got their ass kicked again by the Royals.

    No pitcher we have will save us.

    Gotta pray for some miracle in a bottle run.

    I believe that's about 10 times in the past 6 games that the Astros have given up outs by not covering the proper bases on plays in the infield: catcher, pitcher, 2B, SS, 1B...and the OF throwing to the wrong base. This is LL fundamental horseshit that they've just decided to not do. And so **** it and **** them.

    The best thing about the past 2 weeks is I've lost all expectations for the postseason honestly. If we lose in the first round I wouldn't be shocked tbh

    There's mutiny with this team, something is going on behind closed doors. Everyone is sloppy on defense...so lackadaisical. No motivation or urgency what so ever. What is going on?

    Astros are 6-15 last 21 home games.

    Moldy prob started 13 of those losses and 2 wins.

    Went and looked....you are right....Abreu pitched against the A's on the 13th (6-2), against KC on the 17th (7-1) and against The O's on the 20th (2-1).One common denominator...we didn't give up but 4 runs in those 3 games, we gave up 4 runs in the FIRST INNING tonight. Neris has been good as well but yeah Abreu.

    Look I’ll be glad he’s gone too but FFS for the last time he won’t be fired, he’s on a one year deal. At least know your teams manager’s situation.

    Your pitcher can't give up 6 runs the way he did. We've seen him all year. Once he starts hitting dudes, it's over. Should have taken him out.
    Don't know what's up with Framber, probably exhausted and frustrated.
    The cherry on top was Tucker on third and nobody attempting to just get that run in, just swinging for the moon.

    It's time for new blood. Never thought complacency would trickle down from manager to players the way it has.

    I mean they are distracting if even not in view of a batter……

    told my co-workers with the mariners and rangers getting ready to hand each other losses in 7 games that if we could not take 6 of the 9 against the dregs then we did not deserve October baseball. I honestly didn’t think it would be drop 6 of 9. Unreal. As of this moment we are officially out of the playoffs. Toronto with a game lead and tie breaker in the loas column. The rangers with a 1 game lead in the loss column and tied with the mariners in the loss coloumn with them owning the series. How the hell does espn have us with 90 percent chance of making the post season and the rangers and mariners both less than 70 percent? Is it because they play each other 6 more times? Whatever. If we can’t take both of these next games our goose is rightfully cooked. Just unreal piss poor performance. Period. Someone check the team for an f’ing pulse.

    Valdez should've never stepped out in the 6th inning, I blame fcking Dusty for this. His ability to manage pitchers have been total dogsht the whole season.
